  Growing automobile industry is driving the market growth

  
  

The need for airbags used in trucks and light commercial vehicles (LCV) is the main factor driving the market for air bag sensors. The need for airbags in cars is rising as fatal accident rates rise. For instance, the association for safe international road travel estimates that there are 3,287 fatalities attributed to traffic accidents per day. In order to improve facilities for people's safety, automakers are concentrating on including safety features in their models of vehicles. For instance, the European automaker will receive knee airbags by 2019, according to a statement from German auto part producer ZF Friedrichshafen AG.

Significantly fueling market expansion is increased car safety with additional airbags. Over a million people die as a result of traffic accidents every year. By exercising caution and putting safety systems in cars, these fatalities can be reduced. One of the safety features in cars that can lessen the amount of accidents-related injuries and fatalities is the airbag. The sides of automobile doors, the front instrument panel, and steering wheels all include these airbags.

Even if a driver forgets to fasten their seatbelt, the airbag will keep them from hitting their head in the case of a collision. Government agencies have enforced regulations on the automotive sectors requiring the installation of airbag safety modules in car models due to the benefits of airbag systems in automobiles. The effectiveness of the sensors employed to manufacture these safety modules is their sole determinant. The air bags are set triggered by sensors, which also properly measure the collision's impact. Due to their extensive use in last-mile connectivity, distribution of goods, and transportation of lightweight construction materials, LCVs have a high demand for airbags. Additionally, a rise in per capita income and a quickening of urbanization have increased the use of automobiles globally. For instance, the sales or registration of new passenger cars increased to 69.5 million units in 2016 from 66.3 million units, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers. Thus, driving the Automotive Airbag Sensor market revenue.
